Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Evolution of Local and Imperial Government: From the Teutonic Conquest to the Present Day The Act of Parliament which gave to the dwellers in the counties the same franchise as the citizens of towns, inevitably turned men´s minds to the consideration of the question of local government in the villages. The Reform Act of 1832 had been followed by the Municipal Corporations Act of 1835, so men argued that the Reform Act of 1885 must be followed by local self-government in the country districts. In the succeeding General Election, held late in 1885, this subject of county and parish government was much discussed. My daughter, the writer of the following pages, was associated with me at that time in a study of the proposals for giving the dignity and liberty of self-government to the rural population. Out of the study so begun, ever since kept up, and further aided by her practical experience of local administration, this book on "The Evolution of Local and Imperial Government" has gradually grown. The evolution is shown to have been slow and intermittent. Long centuries of content, or silent discontent, marked the loss of the old Saxon system in the feudal forms of the Norman Conquerors.
